商品描述

​This book explores how the increasing need for specific kinds of parental engagement impacts care-experienced young peoples' trajectories. Previous Australian studies have found that care-experienced young people demonstrate poorer outcomes in health, education, and the criminal justice system throughout their life course. However, this multi-layered case study is the first to specifically address barriers in obtaining higher education--an effective tool for social mobility. In particular, the authors unpack how university marketing relies on young people to have a parent who understands tertiary education transitions to help them navigate post-school pathways to careers or higher education, as well as how policies might fail to help students who do not have such a figure in their lives. The authors offer suggestions for policy change in Australia while providing a basis for global comparisons and recommendations for how care-experienced young people and their support networks canovercome present challenges.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討了對特定類型的父母參與需求日益增加如何影響有照顧經驗的年輕人的發展軌跡。先前的澳大利亞研究發現,有照顧經驗的年輕人在健康、教育和刑事司法系統方面的結果普遍較差,這一情況貫穿他們的整個生命過程。然而,這項多層次的個案研究是首個專門針對獲得高等教育的障礙進行探討的研究——高等教育是一個有效的社會流動工具。特別是,作者分析了大學市場行銷如何依賴年輕人擁有一位理解高等教育過渡的父母,以幫助他們導航從學校到職業或高等教育的道路,以及政策如何未能幫助那些生活中沒有這樣角色的學生。作者提出了對澳大利亞政策變革的建議,同時為全球比較提供了基礎,並建議如何幫助有照顧經驗的年輕人及其支持網絡克服當前挑戰。
